I don’t know what annoys me more. Not having a mate or watching my best friends cuddling and kissing their mates. Tomorrow is my birthday, so hopefully I’ll find my mate at my birthday party.
“Allison, guess what?” My best friend, Natalie, screams into my ear. I whimper and cover my head with my pillow.
“Go away Nat, I’m trying to get beauty sleep.” I mumble out. I hear her sigh and I feel her get off my bed. Suddenly the mattress starts to lift and I roll straight off of it, landing on the cold ground. A groan escapes my lips and I glare up at her.
“Come on sleepyhead! Tomorrow is your big day and I want to go shopping!” Natalie squeals. I roll my eyes and get up off of the ground.
“What is wrong with wearing something I have?” I ask, and pull a Black Veil Brides t-shirt over my head.
“Please, you want to make an entrance when you meet your mate. Trust me; this will help you in the past. If I would’ve known that I was going to run into Jake during a run, I would’ve worn something other than sweats. I want your mate to remember-“I cut her off.
“What if he doesn’t even show up? Whoever ‘he’ is,” I say and she gasps.
“Why would you even say that? He will show up, Allison.” Natalie says and gets up from the bed. She hugs me before walking out of the room. I roll my eyes at her being so dramatic and pull on white skinny jeans. As soon as I was ready, I grab my phone and head downstairs.
Allison’s mom and my mom were sitting at the table discussing something. As soon as I walk into the room, they stop talking and smile at me. I narrow my eyes in suspicion, and slip on my black high heels.
“Good morning darling. Are you ready for your party?” My mom asks. I shrug and grab an apple off the counter.
“Remember to be home before 11! Your party starts at 12.” She yells as I walk out the door. I nod my head and get inside Natalie’s car. She looks over at me and grins.
“Are you ready?” She asks and starts the car. I sigh and look out the car window.
“Sure.” I say and she pulls out of the parking lot.

“That is so hideous, Ally!” Natalie screams and acts like she is throwing up. I huff and turn around to look back in the mirror. The dress wasn’t that bad. It was a long black dress that got bigger as it went down. I do admit that it made me look fat.
“Fine, I’ll go try on a different one.” I gather up my skirt and walk back to the dressing room. On the way there, I spot a dress out of the corner of my eye. I turn to look at it and instantly I knew that was the perfect dress. It was a short white, one shoulder dress. There was a flower design going up the shoulder and going down the back. It was perfect! I race over to it, snatch it off the rack, and race into the dressing room. I slip it on and zip it up the back. When I look in the mirror, a smile crosses my face. I do a small twirl before walking out the dressing room. Natalie looks up from her phone and her eyes widen.
“Oh my God, it is perfect!” She squeals and runs to hug me. I laugh and pull out of her grasp.
“You think so?” I ask and turn to look at myself in the mirror. My light brown hair frames my face and my light blue eyes shine with hope. Hope that I’ll actually meet my mate at my party. Natalie gets up on the platform I was standing on and smiles at me through the mirror.
“When your mate sees you, he is going to want to lock you away and keep you all to himself.” She says and I frown a little bit.
“I don’t want to be locked away from the world.” I whisper and Natalie hits me lightly on my arm.
